As a follow-up to our Western Balkans Media Freedom Cartoon Competition, the Embassy of the Netherlands in Albania invited us to host a workshop for young Albanian artists in Tirana, as a part of Dutch Culture Week.

Dutch cartoonist and CM editor explained how cartoons are a powerful tool to to hold those in power accountable, to expose injustice and corruption, and to point out what is wrong with society, using international and historical examples of cartoons.

Here an impression of the event and some of the cartoons that were created by the workshop participants.
